The Mavericks are looking real weak going into next year. No Kidd, Terry, and Chandler dating back to last years FA, what is Cuban looking forward to? Theyve missed on trying for Deron and Howard, and the second tier of FA are going elsewhere.

My guess is that they know Dirk has 2-3 more years, they're going to field an average club and try to pick up picks and underrated assets. The Thunder seem to have done well by stockpiling young talent.

You guys are crazy. Melo is absolutely a top 7 player in this league. He's at the very worst, the 2nd best pure scorer in the league (Durant being #1, although you can argue for Melo over Durant bc Melo has a post game), he's clutch, and while he's not the best passer, he's an excellent rebounder, and he's actually a pretty good defender when he cares, i.e. the playoffs.

And his passing is improving. People knock his passing too much, he actually does a decent job of passing out of doubles, guys just need to knock down shots.

He's not LeBron in terms of passing, but he's on Durant's level with passing. Durant isn't the best passer either, yet he gets a pass for it.

In fact, Durant is not the best defender either. You guys are so hypocritical.

Well at least ur being nice. With some people u will bring up teams, and they will go OH THE HEAT WILL STRUGGLE AGAINST THEM! I mean mention the Bobcats. Oh, MKG is the man, he is gonna storm past the Heat, the addition of Ben Gordon is gonna make the Heat lose sleep! I mean everyone should start being honest and say I ******* hate the Heat. The Heat haters can first kiss Gonzalo LeBatard's old Cuban ass, and then they can kiss my young, white ass!

The Heat are, and will be the best team in the league for a while. But I do feel we have a fighting chance against them. We match up with the Heat.

Do I expect us to beat the Heat? No. I think the Heat in a 7 game series should beat us. But do I think we have a chance? Absolutely.

You get the point. We'll be in it til the end. We're not pretenders like Chicago.

#KnicksIn2013

Lol you mean pretenders like the healthy Chicago team that went to the ECF 2 years ago, or pretenders like the Chicago team that lost their best player after 1 game in the playoffs, and at worst their 3rd best player like 2 games later? And yet you're the one saying "the Heat don't want a healthy Knicks team" as an excuse why you sucked more than the Bulls this year without two of their top players.

I get that you basically just troll to troll, but at least try to make good attempts every once in a while. I know you hate the Bulls because they are everything you want the Knicks to be in a franchise, as in they actually win something and don't have terrible band wagon fans, but come on do you really need to make terrible arguments to bring Chicago into every discussion just to show how jealous you are?

You honestly think the Bulls are better than the Knicks this coming year? No way!

I'm just stating facts, the Knicks are going to be better than the Bulls. The Bulls window has closed. You lost Asik. You'll probably lose Deng. Rose tore his ACL and won't even play this year, and who knows how he looks when he comes back. You still have Carlos Boozer.

The team's window has closed. It's over for the Bulls. It sucks that it had to end the way it did, but it's true. The Bulls aren't going anywhere this year.

the only team(s) that can beat Miami are those with serious post threats that cannot be guarded by Chris Bosh. if Bosh can so much as keep them from going off, the odds are already against you. you absolutely MUST have the kind of post player that forces Miami out of their small lineup. otherwise they are 100% unbeatable in a 7 game series
